Why Emma Watson is my BEST Dressed of the Year: Emma Watson sure went out (of the Harry Potter franchise) with a bang! She looked divine at the premieres of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 in dresses from the very best designers; my favorites being her brown Bottega Veneta gown and her grey Oscar de la Renta gown seen above! She seems to have finally found a style that's perfect for her - cute but edgy - so now that we can't worship her as Hermione anymore, at least we can worship her style!

Why Hailee Steinfeld is my 2nd Best Dressed of the Year: Hailee Steinfeld is by far Hollywood's best dressed teen in my opinion! She's barely 15 years old and yet she knows exactly what to wear! Unlike many other teens, she never looks like she's trying too hard, because she doesn't over accessorize or exaggerate her looks - on the contrary, she always looks beautiful and sophisticated while keeping it fashionable, age appropriate and interesting!

Following rumors that their marriage was on the downslide, it has been confirmed that Katy Perry and Russell Brand are heading for a divorce.

According to TMZ, the "Arthur" actor has submitted legal papers to bring an end to his fourteen month wedlock to the "Hot N Cold" singer.

The report adds that Brand opted to cite the typical catchall of "irreconcilable differences" as the reason behind the parting, with the couple having tied the knot in India back on October 23, 2010.

The move comes just weeks after Russell denied any relationship woes during an appearance on "Ellen," as he said at the time, "I'm really happily married ... I�m married to Katy. Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge. I�m still alive."

Continuing along as a newly engaged couple, Britney Spears and Jason Trawick were spotted arriving at JFK Airport in New York City on Friday (December 30).

The �I Wanna Go� songstress and her former agent beau looked to be in good spirits as they sauntered past paparazzi while hitting the shops almost immediately after leaving the metro terminal.

Just a few days ago, Spears took to Twitter to spread some Christmas joy, writing, �I had a wonderful Christmas I can't wait for the New Year. Love u all! Xxoo.�

As for the couple�s upcoming nuptials, it is being reported that they will be opting for a �traditional Southern-style wedding� surrounded by a close group of friends and family as opposed to a glamorous Hollywood wedding.

To that end, Kelly replied, �I am really sorry if I have offended anyone. Obviously that was not my intent. I do not support racism. I support gay rights, straight rights, women�s rights, men�s rights, white/black/purple/orange rights. I like Ron Paul because he believes in less government and letting the people (all of us) make the decisions and mold our country. That is all. Out of all the Republican nominees, he�s my favorite.�

Getting out of Tinseltown just ahead of the New Year's Eve celebrations, Selena Gomez was all prepped for an outbound flight in Los Angeles, CA on Friday (December 30).

En route to NYC to take part in MTV�s New Year�s Eve Special, the "Monte Carlo" cutie toted a red jacket in her arms as she was shielded by a staffer upon entering the LAX Airport terminal alongside a few loved ones.

While 2011 ended on a somber note following the loss of her unborn sister, Gomez said she was "humbled" by the successful past twelve months during an interview with MTV.

The 19-year-old told, "I feel like this approach of this year, I wasn't expecting any of the things that happened. And so I just kind of want to go into the end of this year and the beginning of next year just excited and in a good place and not planning anything."

Surely one party she will not be attending, Lindsay Lohan is threatening legal action over claims that she's set to ring in the new year in Dubai.

According to TMZ, the "Parent Trap" starlet is fuming after learning that her name has been used to promote a New Year's Eve event on the Queen Elizabeth II cruise ship.

Obviously having no plans to be aboard the vessel when the clock strikes midnight, LiLo and her legal team are now mulling over a cease and desist letter to serve the people responsible for the faulty promotions.

Offering up a statement on the matter, Lindsay's rep, Steve Honig, told TMZ, �Lindsay is not going to Dubai, nor had she ever considered doing so. She will be spending New Year's Eve in Los Angeles with a few close friends and family."

Ready to ring in their first New Year's as an official item, Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes both turned up at LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Friday (December 30).

The "Ides of March" actor and his "Hitch" actress girlfriend made separate entrances into the crowded terminal while quickly passing through the security checkpoint to rendez vous at the outbound aircraft.

The travels come after Ryan and Eva were first outed as a couple following a PDA-filled sighting at Disneyland back in September of this year.

Of the situation, a source told Us magazine, �There�s always been this strong chemistry between them�this was just a matter of time!�

Talking about everything from her definition of a healthy lifestyle to the pressures of feeling 'beautiful,' highlights from Miss Longoria's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit Health!

On how she defines a healthy life:"People think health only has to do with your physical being, but for me, it's so much more. I remember after my divorce, I was so thin and everyone kept saying how great I looked and it was probably the most unhealthy place I've ever been. So it was funny what people would see as 'healthy.' In my worst time, people were saying I've never looked better. [But now] I have a great diet and exercise routine. And I try to have a healthy outlook. I'm your everlasting, hopeless optimist!"

On where her positive attitude comes from:"I was just born with that. It's so funny, because I don't get depressed. Even after my divorce, everybody was like, 'Wow, you bounced back so quick.' I was like, 'I am not letting this take over. Something great is around the corner�I can't wait to see what's going to happen.'"

On her go-to exercise/nutrition plan:"I love to cook. But when I'm on set, I have food delivery sent there. Before I could afford a food delivery system, I would make my breakfast and lunch, I'd pack some snacks, and put almonds in my purse. I was always prepared because I was always hungry. It's funny, I would be like, 'Nuts anyone?' And they'd say, 'What is in your purse?'"

On her big health regret:"Well, I think the time that I became a vegan. [Laughs] I love the philosophy behind veganism, but I went from one day eating chicken and meat to eating just salad. I didn't know how to be a vegan. I didn't know about soy or almond butter. I didn't know that there are great breads. So I literally stuck to salads. And I think I passed out the first week."

On whether she feels pressure to keep up with the whole "beautiful" thing:"No. I think that's probably why I make those lists, because it takes a village to build me for the red carpet. It's an illusion created by stylists, hair, makeup. I don't put as much effort into it as my team does. But I think people see something beyond that with me, and I love that I'm defined by my charity work. I think that's what people see when they give me this label of 'She's a beautiful person.'"

On the best workout song on her iPod:"I don't workout to music. I workout to my trainer yelling at me. [Laughs]"

On her favorite sandwich:"Bologna and cheese! [Laughs] with Kraft American, Kraft Singles. On white Wonder Bread with miracle whip. It's been a while, but that's just so nostalgic and I love it. Love it, love it, love it."

On what she plans to do a lot more of in 2012:"Travel. Everywhere. Wherever the wind takes me. I could live anywhere; I can learn any language. I just love it. I love being immersed in the world."
